# Reporting a Sexual Assault Incident

**CALL 911 IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER**

## If you think you have been **sexually assaulted**

**Go to a safe location away from the perpetrator. If possible, preserve all evidence.**
                            - Do not bathe, wash your hands, brush your teeth or comb your hair.
                            - Do not eat or drink as either could compromise forensic evidence collection.
                            - If you are still in the location where the crime occurred, do not clean, straighten up or remove anything from the crime scene.
                            - If you have already changed clothes, put the clothes you were wearing when the crime occurred in a paper bag.
                            - Write down, tape or record by any means all the details you can recall about what happened and your assailant.

## Seek medical care as soon as possible

                            - Call 911 or your installation's emergency medical care services. Even if you do not have any visible physical injuries seek medical personnel as soon as you can.  
                            - Contact a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), or a Sexual Assault Prevention & Response Victim Advocate (SAPR VA).  Both are available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week at every military installation.
